On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish everyone a happy St George’s Day.

Let us be proud of our national identity, confident on the world stage, and sure of our country’s future.

Our countryside is part of our national identity and home to millions.
 
With Labour’s rural crime strategy, Britain’s rural communities will be protected.

For me patriotism is about more than symbols and sentiment; it’s a driving value.

My mission-driven government will make sure opportunity is determined by talent and ambition, not geography or background.

When I speak to young people across the country, the confidence and pride that comes from playing sport is so clear to see.

My Labour government will widen access to PE and the arts, so every child can be active at school.

As families gather around the Seder table this evening, I know that for many this year it will feel different.

Sending my warmest wishes to the Jewish community for Passover. I hope you draw strength from this very special festival.

Chag sameach.

31 years on since his murder, Doreen Lawrence OBE continues to champion her son Stephen's legacy.

Growing up, he hoped to be an architect.

It was a privilege to join Doreen in speaking to children about Stephen as a role model for the next generation.

I fell in love with playing football at an early age. It boosted my confidence and shaped my identity.

But many young people now don’t have that same opportunity.

With my Labour government harnessing our pride and patriotism, they will.

Patriotism is more than just respecting a shared symbol, it is about service to your country, its people and its values.

As Labour leader, I will always put country before party.

My Labour government will build on brownfield land first and make sure green spaces are protected.

But it’s not right that places like disused car parks are designated as green belt while so many people need the security of their own home.

With Angela Rayner 🌹 and me, the next Labour government will rekindle the dream of homeownership for families across the country.

The security and safety that comes with having a home of your own is so important for families.

But for too many in Britain today that is a dream, not a reality.

That's why my mission-driven government will reform planning laws to build the affordable homes you deserve.

More homes with Labour means more schools, doctors and green spaces, and security for more families. 

This is why it matters to me.

I will always back the dream of home ownership.
 
My mission-driven government will get tough on the blockers to deliver the homes and local services that hardworking Brits deserve.

This is what my mission-driven government will deliver for our industrial heartlands.

Britain was built on the bedrock of industrial jobs offering security and a good wage.

My government's Green Prosperity Plan will back the pride and ambition in our industrial heartlands.

With good jobs, higher wages and energy security - Labour will get Britain's future back.

Karin, I and the rest of the Labour Party will be thinking of you as you recover. We all look forward to seeing you back in Parliament soon.

My-mission driven government will create good jobs and secure billions of investment into our industrial heartlands and coastal communities.

More decline under the Tories - or national renewal with Labour. That's the choice.

I gave Rishi Sunak three chances to rule out cuts to the NHS, cuts to the state pension, or tax rises to pay for his Liz Truss style £46 billion unfunded tax cut.

Each time, he refused.

I’ve explained how Labour will fully fund all our plans. Rishi Sunak can’t do the same.

After 14 years of Tory failure, you know our country needs change. You can see it everywhere you look.
 
I changed the Labour Party. Now, I’m ready to change the country. 
 
That starts with the local elections on Thursday 2 May.
 
Vote Labour to get Britain’s future back.
